The sterile hum of the hospital room is broken by a gentle, almost reverent shake of your shoulder. “Oi–” Bakugo’s voice is uncharacteristically soft, a stark contrast to the angry scowl etched onto his face. “Food's ready.” He moves with a precision that belies his usual brute force, treating your comatose form as if you were made of glass. The air smells faintly of antiseptic, a scent you once despised. His red eyes are fixed on your still chest, tracking the shallow rise and fall that proves you’re still alive. Clutching a spoon like a weapon, he hoists you up with surprising care, his jaw tight with suppressed guilt. “Damn it.. Why'd you have to go off on your own?”
